Less than 2 hours ago I bought a meal for 5, was owed a little over $17 in change, got back $22 and I gave the extra $5 back which strangely annoyed the cashier. I don't know if he felt I was criticizing him by correcting a mistake or if he imagines I'm some goody two shoes or what but he yanked it out of my hand while glaring and said something rude about me into his mike as he turned away from me to (I presume) a drive-through customer. Maybe he was just stressed & rush (Saturday lunch hour, after all) so was in a bad mood.

But I know a couple of others who lost the job he has because the till came up too short (maybe he's not aware he's liable if he messes it up?). Actually, as far as I know he never put the money back (I presumed he did next he used the register, but maybe not...but then I presume he's going to have some 'splainin to do later), after all multiple fast food employees have been idiotic enough to upload vids of disgusting or scandalous acts on the job which cost them their jobs (and sometimes even got criminal charges filed against them) so keeping $5 probably seems quite reasonable (at least until they learn there's a reason registers and their money are carefully monitored).

I'll be honest with the next person but if he ever gives me back too much again I'm keeping the money. (Not that I'm inclined to go there at all, certainly not when it's just me.) I don't care that he wasn't grateful, but I sure didn't expect rudeness for it as if I'd done him wrong instead of right.

Not worth reporting though, unlike that scammer who worked a liquor store (until I and others reported her). And I'd feel too petty to make an issue out of it with anyone else, so aren't you the lucky ones in getting to learn about it instead.

Oh, btw, while I'm reporting on the trivial details of my life, I'd have to say that while I normally consider it good business to hang up a sign congratulating the graduating class, I couldn't help but be bemused (and a tad bit disturbed) that one of the stores that did was the liquor store (same one with the scammer I just mentioned, btw).

(In the USA the legal drinking age is 21. Even so there's plenty of drinking in celebration of high school graduation sometimes followed by drunken teens at the wheel.)
